Finally got around to putting together some footage from LSTD's double weekend at TWS (Texas World Speedway) on 7/7-7/8. Unfortunately, I got hurt Saturday night and was unable to ride Sunday, but here's some footage from the first day in A group.

how was that gpr stabilizer working out? would anyone recommend a different steering damper for aggressive riding?
P.S. im new to the ridding world thats y i ask. my R1 has a stock one but im not to sure if its gonna do a good job in whats its suppose to do, by the way i dont really ride aggressively just saw a guy lose control after putting the front end after a wheelie

GPR's are fine and work well IMO. I don't know about costs these days but they were the most cost effective option when I set up the 600 and 750 that I raced in CMRA.

hey, the bike in the video IS the 600 you set up for cmra...

I agree with desmorider - GPRs are fine for the money. I personally don't think the build quality is there versus a Scotts, and if this bike hadn't already had the GPR on it, I would probably have picked an Ohlins linear (or a Scotts, if I just *had* to have a rotary style).

I only notice the steering damper on a 600 when I'm accelerating across bumpy pavement (TWS (Texas World Speedway) and MSRH in particular) and I've experienced a tank slapper strong enough to push the pads back in the front calipers and loosen the damper arm from the shaft on the GPR (this is the build quality issue I was referring to). otherwise, I never notice it is there, which is exactly how I like it. mine is probably due for servicing - I've noticed it weeping a little oil.

I wouldn't ride a liter bike on the street or track without a damper, especially if I was fond of high speed wheelies...
